Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-12-31 vs 2023-12-31

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

Going concern
Affirmed

“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Group has made a profit of £285,678 for the year ended 31 December 2024 (2023: profit of £676,487) and is in a net asset position of £3,883,028 (2023: £3,662,350). The directors have reviewed the Group's forecast and projections for 2025 including assumptions concerning forecast sales, capital expenditure and expenditure commitments and their impact on cash flows, and have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate financial resources to continue its operations for the foreseeable future. The Directors are closely monitoring the impact of the cost of living crisis on the Group's performance and its ability to continue as a going concern. To date, indicators are that performance be strong and with the measures that management have put in place the Directors judge that the Group will continue to operate as a going concern.”
